Grandchildren are just wonderful





I just heard William Paul Young speak (on the web). If you have never listened to him, you really should. He is a very humble and Godly man. He had some fun things to say about being a grandparent. We now have seven grandchildren and we are just delighted with them. They range in age from 9 months to 14. Some of the highlights of the past few months have been:

  • Trying to get all 7 grandchildren to pose for a picture day before Christmas (not easy).
  • Andrew calling me to discuss the Redwall Series, which we are both reading
  • Jackson telling us that every time his brother hits him he has to give him a dollar (but he clarified that a "high five" doesn't count)
  • Caitlin's 11th birthday party at our house today
  • Visiting Sophia in Houston and keeping her home to play with us while mommy and daddy went off to work.
  • Getting our pictures taken together with Sophia for Mother's Day
  • Cody playing his guitar for us.
  • Having each of the grandchildren come down to our RV while we were camping together and having breakfast with us.
  • Watching Kinsey and Ashley play with their friends at Lake Havasu.
We thoroughly enjoy having the time to spend with each of them...
I think Denny would tell you also that we receive extreme joy watching our children be parents. We just could not be more blessed...

Those are great pictures! I'm glad you guys get to see all the kids as much as you do. I just wish little grandson Deacon wasn't always left out, you know?
